BROWNSBURG, Ind. -- Tony Schumacher won the Top Fuel portion of the NHRA Traxxas Nitro Shootout and Clay Millican raced to the qualifying lead Saturday in the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway.
Schumacher, an eight-time season champion, had a 3.717-second pass at 328.86 mph to beat Leah Pritchett for his second career NHRA Traxxas Nitro Shootout victory.
Schumacher, who won in Colorado and entered the specialty event as the No. 5 seed, claimed a $100,000 prize. He outlasted Brittany Force and Antron Brown before facing Pritchett.
"It takes the points and what we work on all year long and gets rid of that," Schumacher said.
